I need advice

I would not discourage you from creating a guild, but I would suggest that you join another guild first.  

The problem with this, as someone very wisely pointed out, is that I don\'t know of any guilds that\'re gonna be thrilled to have me, knowing that it\'s just temporary. I mean, it\'s not gonna look good if  someone asks me why I joined and I said, \"Oh, y\'know, just to bide my time till I create my own guild. That sounds real enticing.

Anyway, I want to thank everyone, especially Draklar, for their support. I feel a lot better about it now.

What do you guys think if maybe I finished my site here, and went into the game, recruited, got a few members, then made the guild official? Does that sound like a good idea, or should I just ler \'er rip?

P.S. My guild is a lot closer to The Forsaken Ones than it is to Bloodclaw.

look on http://www.bloodclawinc.tk if you really want to know it.

and heh... Bloodclaw and his guild are completely different, Taldor

Perfect. I didn\'t know anything about their guild exept the alignment, so I had to make my conclusions based on that.

I\'d say you might try to strict the law in Yliakum. Protect guilds that are being attacked for selfish reasons, like need of domination. For money that is
Protect the peace but not to the point of being fanatics.

that\'s a bit more than alignment, don\'t you think?
and no, you didn\'t have to make conclusions, I don\'t think anyone forced you to post them. If you don\'t know anything about guild then how can you post that it\'s like your guild?
I checked the website and I can\'t find anywhere that your guild is connected with protecting the law
actually everywhere I see it\'s economic guild... which means it\'s true neutral guild...

Yeah, right! LOL You are one guild that I\'m NOT allying myself with.

Your entitled to your own opinion.... for now that is.

how would a new guild go, with lets say...\"good\" way, mostly merchants....no power players (), basicly just a group of friends cassualy playing, and forming a guild so that others know that we stick around for eachother...?

No plans or anything....just a question... lol

Guilds = Power.

Join a guild, you get allies... information, armor, weapons, money, etc.

as for coming up with an original concept (my guild is a gambling guild...i know of no others like it) my advice is to specialise

many guilds, although having an alignment and a general playstyle will gather members from a large number of skill types (eg a primarily combat-orientated guild would recruit support personel such as smiths to make their armour and animal trainers to get them steeds)

if you were to create a solely smithing guild  (for eg) you could easily establish a name for yourself.. thus attracting the best smiths around.. thus other guilds would from alliances with you (eg combat guild would protect your members for a small discount on their armour)... and end result = you have as much power as a more generic guild and you stand out more

when it comes down to it... backstory is nice but it wont make you inexpendible

EDIT: if that makes no sense then dont blame me its 8:15 am here and i havent slept yet due to this damned addictive yet largely empty game!!!!!
